My opponents have been beating me with Gardy/Gallade. Some have used Ralts from DF and some have used Ralts from SW. Other than personal favorites what makes the deck choice for using one or the other. I would think Ralts SW for the only +10 weakness and the 60 hp. So why the Ralts df? or why not or Ralts who?
 
Ralts SW for pretty much the reasons you list and the confusion attack. Confusing Absol or other basic starters like Stantler is highly effective.

Ralts DF Hypnosis would be my second choice. Auto sleep is nearly as good as confusion. Psychic Boom can rarely come in handy vs some foes like Bliss.

Ralts d & Ralts PK don't don a lot for me ... though I do have fond memories of Ralts PK winning me several pre-release games. The delta's Calm Mind could be interesting I guess but I would much rather potentially render my opponent's basic confused or asleep.

When I make a Gallade/Gardevoir deck, that one will be my choice. I think the Sleep is better than Confusion. Think about it, flip for Confusion -there is a 50% chance. If you get a heads, they have to make another flip! I'll take the 50% chance of them not being able to attack over a 25% chance + three damage counters. The only disadvantages that I see are that the DF Raltz with sleep attack, only has 50 HP as opposed to 60 on the SW one, and it has a double weakenss. But honestly, that x2 weaness doesn't differ much from the +10 on the SW one. There are a lot of choises out there, and the the psychic one from Dragon Frontiers comes out on top!

It's funny, I was thinking about making a topic like this :lol:!
 
Another advantage of Hypnosis is that it can use any kind of energy. However I still like Confusion better. It sticks on basics. You only have to confuse Absol or Stantler once then your opponent is forced to either live with it or retreat. It can wreak long term havoic even after you evolve . Sleep rarely does that.
 
i like the sw one as well, i just built a deck with gallade, an chose sw ralts i like the confusion better then sleep
